    Have it on pasta or gnocchi or you could cook chicken in it and put the chicken in a nice salad.

    I've used it on a puff pastry base,spread out and then topped with sliced tomatoes and some feta or goats cheese,then popped into the oven until puffy and golden,everyone seemed to enjoy it,and its quite summery.I like it in pasta too.

    Use as salad dressing, especially nice with tomato salad with mozzarella cheese!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
  • Nice with potatoes - either toss new pots in it or add a dollop to mash. Or use it with bread crumbs to crust chicken or fish and cook in the oven

    Use it with olive oil to dress a mozzarella and tomato salad, if you like these ingredients. It's light, healthy and very suitable in the summer. :)
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
